Chicago. — Trade on comb honey is very limited. 

 We attiibute this to the enormous quantity of 

 fruit of all Icinds arriving on this market, which is 

 selling at ridiculously low prices. This has a tend- 

 ency to restrict the sales of comb honey. Extract- 

 ed honey, however, is moving more readily. We 

 quote fancy white and No. 1 white comb at IT to 18: 

 No. 2 white and light amber, 15 to 17: medium am- 

 ber and other off grades at correspondingly lower 

 prices. White clover and basswood extracted are 

 firm at 9 to 10 : Southern California, light amber, 

 extracted, 8^: white alfalfa, 8% to 9. Bright pure 

 beeswax, 31 to 32.

St. Louis.— Our honey market is practica'ly un- 

 changed since our last. The demand is very limit- 

 ed on account of the prevailing warm weather. We 

 quote fancy white comb honey, 16 to 16^; No. 1, 15 

 to 1554 : choice light amber. 14 to 15 ; dark, 11 to 13 ; 

 extracted light amber. Southern, in barrels, 7: dark, 

 6 to 6H : same grade in five-gallon cans. '2 cent per 

 lb. higher; California light amber, in five-gallon 

 cans, 8%: white, 9 to 9H. Beeswax is in good de- 

 mand at 30 cts. for prime; impure and inferior, less.

Zanesville. — The little white comb honey arriv- 

 ing sells in single-case lots at 10 to 20 cents for the 

 better grades, prodvicers being offered about 2 cts. 

 less than these prices. While the supply of North- 

 em comb is evidently very light, prices will proba- 

 bly not advance materially, as there is a limit to 

 what consumers will pay, and producers have 

 nothing to gain by holding back their crops. For 

 best white extracted, producers are offered B% to 954 

 In 60-lb. cans, selling prices running 1 to 2 cents 

 above these figures. For good clean beeswax, 30 

 cts. in exchange for bee-supplies, or 28 cts. in cash, 

 is being offered to producers.

.Schenectady.— There is but very little honey on 

 ovir market yet, and local producers report white 

 clover a short crop. We have sold .some white ex- 

 tracted in fiO-lb. cans at 9 cts., but would not call 

 that an established price. One producer informed 

 us he had sold some white comb in cartons in a re- 

 tail way at 18 cts. We have inquiry for buckwheat 

 extracted, but none Is on hand as yet to offer. 



.Schenectady, Sept. 4. Chas. MacCulloch. 



Chicago.— There Is a tendency toward easier 

 prices on comb and extracted hone.v. Fancy comb 

 is not plentiful, and is taken at 18 cts.: but the low- 

 er grades are not selling unless at lower prices than 

 last quoted. Extracted, best grades of white, com- 

 mand 9 cts.. say of clover or basswood: other kinds 

 of white. 8 to 854: amber, 7 to 8. according to color 

 and quality. Beeswax is in good demand at 31 to 

 32. if clean and of good color. 



Chicago, Sept. 1. R. A. Burnett Co. 



Indianapolis. — Demand for white-clover comb 

 honey exceeds the supply. Fancy white brings 18 

 cts. readily. Extracted is more plentiful, and sells 

 for 11 to 12 in five-gallon cans. The pound jar, 

 which has always retailed for 20 cts., is a thing of 

 the pa-st, and is now a 25-cent article. Producers 

 are being paid about 9 cts. for extracted, but there 

 are no established prices on comb honey. Beeswax 

 is in good demand, and producers are being paid 

 30 cts. per pound. 



Indianapolis, Sept. 1. Walter S. Pouder. 



New York. — ^The crop of white comb honey will 

 be decidedly short in the Eastern States as well as 

 the middle West, on account of the dry weather 

 during the summer. While the market is not es- 

 tablished as yet. and no new stock has arrived, 

 prices undoubtedly will rule higher than those of 

 last year. We expect arrivals of the new crop the 

 first part of this month, and fancy white stock will 

 probably sell at from 15 to 16 cts.; No. 2 and No. 1 at 

 from 13 to 14. Extracted hone.v is in good demand. 

 Quite heavy shipments are arriving from the West 

 Indies, principally from Porto Rico, and finds ready 

 sale at from 75 to 80 cts. per gallon, according to 

 quality. New crop of California sage is now on the 

 market, and .sells at from 9 to 10 ct.s. for white and 

 water-white, and 854 for light amber, with a fair de- 

 mand. Hildreth ik Segelken.
